 | | Roth made me think of the aesthetic aspects of literature – and, by extension, the reasons why English literature does not quite fascinate me as it seems to fascinate others. |
 | | There is just way too much focus on the plot, if you ask me. (And not just me: an English novelist recently complained about it, on BBC, saying: "I constantly feel the discomfort of the little finger of the plot goading me on in the small of my back"). |
 | | Because, of course, what makes literature the joy it is – to me, anyway – is precisely the way it can fascinate us – put us under a mind-boggling, be-fuddling, stupefying spell. |
